US Army Campaigns of World War II - China Offensive

Description

For auction is a booklet entitled "China Offensive". As the war in Europe was coming to an end, the effort of US and Chinese forces accelerated to defeat Japan. Japan at one time occupied the eastern 1/3 of China and controlled all ports and railroads. While the Chinese forces performed badly overall, the Japanese military was hindered by supply problems and US air raids. Included is a discussion of the "Chihchiang Campaign". The surrender of Japan after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war in China but opened the door to the Communist takeover.
